Registered Nurse Intensive Care Unit

Providence Memorial Hospital - El Paso, TX -

2000-05 - 2001-05

This unit consists of twelve beds and receives a variety of patients. The average nurse to patient ratio is 1:2. Having a 1:2 nurse/patient ratio allowed me to work closely with my patients and involve myself in all aspects of their care. This low nurse to patient ratio also allowed me to work closely with a mentor and learn the needed skills as a critical care nurse. These skills include medication constitution and administration, invasive hemodynamic monitoring (swan- ganz, central venous pressure etc), ekg interpretation, caring for critically ill patients, and essential critical thinking skills.
